Not saying this is all bunk, BUT, I hope no one here believes everything they read on the internet.

Not one thing on that website surprised or shocked me in any way. The real question is how do the people making these kinds of decisions look themselves in the mirror every morning? These people are a disgrace and have no morals or soul. It's statistics like these that really make me question what this country is all about. This certainly isn't a democracy, big business owns and operates this country, you just think you have a choice.

I think I will have a beer (or two) to that!!
Are you one of the over stressed alcoholic/drug addict UPSers? If you are, I'm sure it stems from the non-ergonomically designed computer clip board you have to carry and those 200 lb. packages you have to lift all day with no help. Gosh, if one line of that is true, than I'm afraid we'd all be better off working in some Chinese sweat shop, mixing lead paint for cribs to be sold in American Wal-Marts.

I don't know why, but when I was in preload, when I would walk in to the building, the first thing that would come to mind was the "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.
The image I saw was the cow slaughterhouses where the blood was ankle deep.

Why does this not surprise me... I am sure the numbers have been doctored... Must have come from Atlanta because the numbers seem low...

you guys had fun and games at the start of your shift then you guys watched each other bleed? maybe, just maybe that would work.
Personally i would blast Slipknot's "Duality" at the starts of my shifts, would feel appropriate for anything there.
Early Retirement
Member
No one believes everything they read, but I was there 11 years and at age 33 was disabled for life. UPS fought me being able to return to modified limited part time work and said 100% or you're gone. So with my attorney and 4 years of fighting, I'm now gone. So much for "people are our most important asset". Yeah right, until the day you cost them money and stop making them money. Sad but true, and happening more frequently every year. Hope you make it injury free until retirement, I didn't.
